Seems to me the refusal to accept Jerusalem as the capitol really is the refusal to accept Israel’s existence, and to plan its destruction. From what history I know, there is no way Islam has more of an interest in the city than Christians or Jews.

“From what history I know, there is no way Islam has more of an interest in the city than Christians or Jews.”

Islamic interest was historically fleeting at best ... the claim that Mohamed ascended to Paradise from the Dome is patently false - it was a tale told to gain tourist revenue under the caliph who built the structure to keep his court busy.

When his court finally grew restless and bored, the caliph moved his capital back to Ammon, leaving the small village of Jerusalem to recede back into the dusty, goat-herding, backwater it was before the caliph came.

Fleeting.
